It takes a lot of work to throw a big Tien-style party.
ML goes all out to make sure it's the best experience for our guests.
We shopped at Costco for the fruit, the new Whole Foods by our condo for
the sunflowers and cakes, and Sam's for the beer. We prepped all
afternoon, getting our extended living room - the condo's clubroom -
ready. Mom came over to help with the floral arrangements; Kyle
worked on the table decorations; Keiko showed us how to properly set the
placesettings; and even Bob helped a bit with the cupcakes. Alan
took care of the drinks and pineapples, including cutting some pineapple
slices into sunflower shapes. Of course, ML made sure it all
worked out perfectly. ML brought back from CA many of our wedding
pictures so we had a memory lane table too.
